I love the combination of pink and green, and today’s design adds a touch of gold. I began by stamping two of the plants from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set in Soft Sea Foam and Flirty Flamingo; then using their Splendid Stems Dies for cutting. After cutting, I used their coordinating, “two-step” stamps for coloring, and placed them on Dimensionals. Don’t be surprised that the coloring stamps don’t align, because they aren’t supposed to match.

Pink, green & gold

Next, I used two more Splendid stems Dies to cut “open” plants from Basic White Cardstock and Blushing Bride Cardstock, which were glued flat.

The cute, gold, bee was stamped in VersaMark on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder, set it with the Heat Tool, used a Splendid Stems Die for cutting, and placed it on a Dimensional. I made several bees while I was at it.

For more gold, the pot was created with Splendid Day Designer Paper and another Splendid Stems Die. I gave it texture with the Hive Embossing Folder, which I layered on cardstock for thickness (using the debossed side) and placed it on Dimensionals.

The background is a gorgeous piece of Splendid Day Designer Paper, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. Prior to gluing this to a Soft Sea Foam card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I stamped “sending hugs” in Soft Sea Foam Ink. This is one of the sentiments in the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set. 

I was inspired by TGIF.
